Fernand Lungren

Fernand Lungren (1857-1932) was an American painter and illustrator mostly known for his paintings of American South Western landscapes and scenes (California, New Mexico, Arizona) as capably as for New York and European city street scenes.

He is well-known for his vibrantly colored paintings of the Southern California desert, especially in the Death Valley and Mojave Desert area, which remarkably space the immensity, colors and solitude of these landscapes.

He afterward dabbled in Orientalist art, while travelling through Europe and North Africa.
